Many of you may have one of these, but I got myself a little solar charger and connectors of ebay, which with postage worked out about £10ish.
I have to say its absolutely brilliant - when we moor out overnight (or when we did to use the past tense now) I often ran out of battery on my phone, so this little device collects power and stores it so it acts as a battery for most things including the phone, and if I leave it in the sun it also recharges. Generally it can top the phone up in around an hour or two.
Anyway got my vote for gadget of the year for being out at sea.
